Reduced environmental impact from the eco-design for expanding the site in Roha (India)

12/29/2015

As part of the expansion of our site in Roha (India), we wanted to reduce the environmental impact of the project by applying the principles of eco-design to the buildings.

We decided to follow the principles of LEED certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), which are arranged around the following themes:

Site sustainability: charging point for electric vehicles

Water consumption: 78% reduction in building consumption, thanks in particular to the use of a flow restrictor

Energy and atmosphere: 100% of roofs are covered with solar panels or reflective paint, producing electricity and reducing the greenhouse gas effect, with precise monitoring of consumption through the installation of sub-meters

Materials and resources: use of local materials with low environmental impact

Internal air quality: use of air-conditioning units without CFCs and allowing an air change rate of 30% above the ASHRAE standard, thus guaranteeing good internal air quality

Implementation of this package of measures has been validated by a third party (Indian Green Building Council), allowing us to reach the Gold standard!
